Halo 5: Guardians Xbox One Battle of Shadow and Light DLC deploys

Microsoft Corp. this week released the Battle of Shadow and Light DLC for Halo 5: Guardians for the Xbox One.

The Battle of Shadow and Light DLC is a free post-launch update that includes 48 new REQs, Big Team Battle, four new BTB maps, and additional game fixes.

Halo 5: Guardians is the next installment of the franchise to include Master Chief.

The title features a 15-level online co-op campaign and 21 multiplayer maps at launch.

Warzone is a brand new multiplayer mode that will combine player vs. player and player vs. AI into one 24-player match.

In the mode, the first team score 1000 points or destroy the enemy team’s core wins. Each team initially battles AI-controlled enemies and subsequently encounter a rival 12-person team to battle in addition to AI opponents.

Players must capture all three bases to expose the enemy’s core and attack it.

The REQ System will award REQ Points after each multiplayer match which can be redeemed for REQ Packs that include bundles of new weapons, vehicles, armor, skins and more.
